Sanders, 57, had reportedly been suffering from an unknown illness.
As a result, the Buffaloes’ head coach was forced to miss the team’s summer training camps.
His eldest son, Deion Sanders Jr, revealed that he was “feeling okay” during a YouTube livestream.
Sanders has now broken his silence on the matter with a statement on social media.
He thanked fans for all their kind messages and insisted that “everything is OKAY”.
He also claimed that he is on his way back to work.
He wrote: “Wow, I am truly blessed for the abundance of well wishes, for all the thoughts and all of the prayers.
“THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
“I can assure you all that everything is OKAY and will continue to be so.
“God got me like no other. I have so much more work to do to glorify God so please believe God got me.
“I’m excited to get back to Colorado to be at home with my staff, team and all associated to our program.
“When we arrive back to Boulder, you will be updated on everything. Until then, I’M COMING BABY.”
Fans reacted to the post on X with much relief in the comment section.
One posted: “We love you, coach!”
A second commented: “Rest up, world needs you now that the boys are grown and on their own.”
A third said: “Take your time my Goat.”
Another added: “Let’s go.”
Sanders has had health scares in the past.
In 2022, he had two toes on his left foot amputated due to blood clots.
Then, in 2023, Sanders needed surgery to fix blood clots in his left leg.
Colorado will begin the season at home on August 29 against Georgia Tech.
